Kendra's daughter Brenna. She was born weighing 3 lbs, 6 oz and 15" long. Pretty good for a 30 weeker!

Wait until you see this cutie!!!

What a beautiful little girl! She certainly doesn't look like a 30 weeker! :D

Thank you!

Thank you Erin for posting these for me! I'm a spaz sometimes when it comes to technology. :?

Brenna has now gained 2 oz - Yay! She developed a staph infection, but they caught it right away, so she bounced back in a day. We're hoping for no more set backs. She's so strong that she can lift/turn her head already and she managed to pull her feeding tube out of her nose. She also loves to worm her way down to the bottom of her incubator. The nurses can't keep her still!

I'll keep you posted on her progress. Thank you again, Erin, for doing this and to everyone for your support and cograts.

Kendra-

She is a beauty :) Congrats on her and being HG free :)

Katie was a menace in the NICU as well.... forever removing her NG tubes... scootching herself all over her incubator... lol

Im happy to say at 5 months you would never even tell she was premature. :)

Best of luck with everything!

Well done Kendra :D

Brenna is just gorgeous. Such lovely hair too - imagine how much she would have had if she'd stayed baking 'til 4O weeks lol

Congrats Kendra!

I love the little wonders... it took Jack a grand total of 15 mins to scooch himself to the bottom of the incubator and rip out all the lines & monitors. :lol: Its a good sign!

Keep us posted on her progress... hopefully they'll let her out at 5 pounds and 35 weeks which seems to be the standard these days if all else goes well :D

How is the pumping going?
